Chapter 907 "Picture of Xiao Qiao playing football"
When Gu Mian came up, he brought with him a relatively complete human head, a pile of tattered bent bamboo braids, and a few scraps of paper.
The fortune teller originally wanted to ask Gu Mian what happened down there, but before he could ask, the things Gu Mian brought up attracted his attention: "What are these?"
When she first saw the head, she thought it was Gu Mian who fought with the ghost for three hundred rounds down there. Finally, he unscrewed the ghost's head and brought it up for everyone to watch. When she got closer, she realized that it was made of paper.
The fortune teller stretched out his hand and cautiously poked the head that was thrown to the ground by Gu Mian, feeling that there was no danger.
Gu Mian gave an overview of what happened below, focusing on the encounter between him and the paper man below.
"... Its head was stuck in the vertical passage. I pulled it down and was about to go down when I found something blocking the entrance of the hole. It turned out to be the body of a paper man..."
When Gu Mian was talking about this, the fortune teller looked suspiciously at the head and the pile of broken bamboo weavings, but did not see what Gu Mian called the "body"
She hesitated for a while and pointed to the pile of broken bamboo: "Isn't this the body you're talking about?"
Gu Mian nodded without blushing and said, "It blocked me in the hole. I had no choice but to kick it down first."
The fortune teller looked at the pile of shapeless bodies with pity. She thought that the paper man must have been in the ground for too long and had no information. She didn't know Gu Mian's reputation, but he even used his head to seduce Gu Mian and then... Use your body to wrap around the back.
The last time I saw this tactic was the "front wolf pretending to sleep to lure the enemy" in Chinese textbooks. History is always surprisingly similar. Whether it is the front wolf and the rear wolf in the textbook or the front and rear bodies underground, they all run towards the same target. ending.
The paper figure actually didn't fall apart like this after being kicked down. It was because Gu Mian couldn't keep it steady when she jumped down from the hole and sat on it. It probably didn't expect that there would be a time in this life when it would be used as a bench for others. At that time, the mouthless body let out a squeaking whine and fell apart, ending its useless life.
This life was not completely useless. After all, the bamboo sticks that came out after death even scratched Gu Mian's butt a few times. This would be a good source of conversation in the future when talking to other dead paper figures.
Gu Mian picked through its bones before picking out a few relatively intact bamboo strands and taking them out.
The fortune teller glanced at the bamboo strips with a slightly sympathetic expression, and then turned to study the still intact paper heads.
Because Gu Mian was here, the fortune teller was not afraid that the head would suddenly mutate and bite her. She picked up the somewhat flat head and looked around: "The face I saw above just now should be its."
This is the most reasonable explanation. Theoretically speaking, the location where Gu Mian found the head was obviously not the same location where the fortune teller saw the head. However, Gu Mian's description of the paper man's body was that it suddenly ran out of nowhere, and the head was the same as its body. They are a family, so it’s not surprising that they run around.
Gu Mian also squatted next to the fortune teller and looked at the paper head of his dead accomplice: "I found traces of human habitation in the cave. I don't know if it was left by this paper man."
Although it sounds bizarre, the world is already very bizarre, and it is not surprising that such a pair of paper people need to sleep.
The two turned over the things in their hands like studying monkeys in a zoo, and finally saw something.
"Look, there are words on the top of its head." The fortune teller lifted the hair of the human head and pointed to the top of its head to show it to Gu Mian.
This paper man was quite complete, and the hair was modeled separately. However, at this moment, most of the paper man's thick hair had been torn off by the fortune teller, and a Mediterranean shape was torn out on the top of his head.
Gu Mian followed her fingers to look at the exposed pale head, and saw that there was indeed writing on it. However, the hair on the human head was too tightly glued to the skull, and the head was already very fragile. When the diviner peeled off the hair, part of the writing was destroyed.
"It seems to be written about something." Gu Mian looked at the surviving handwriting on the door of the person's head. It should have been three words, written with dark red paint. The color of the handwriting was still very fresh and old. The old paper heads looked out of place.
The fortune teller touched the red mark on the paper man's head with his hand: "Except for the word 'Qi' in the middle, the other two words cannot be seen."
"Is this some kind of power-on button?" Gu Mian unceremoniously poked the paper man's forehead with the word "start" written on it. After pressing it for a long time, he didn't see it turning on.
The fortune teller took back his hand and found that his fingers were also stained with these red marks: "When I touched it, it was stained with color. It seems that this word was newly written."
Could it be related to the upside-down city that was just formed yesterday? That's right, these potholes are underground in the Upside Down City, and they must be inseparable from the city in the sky.
Thinking about it, she looked towards Gu Mian to hear what he thought. Unexpectedly, she turned around and saw Gu Mian pulling up the rope again, looking like he was going down to do underground work again.
The fortune teller opened his mouth: "You want to go down?"
Gu Mian was already ready by the pit: "There are many cave entrances down there. I will study whether there are such paper figures in other cave entrances."
Before the fortune teller could open her mouth to persuade him to stay, Gu Mian grabbed the rope and jumped down, disappearing from her sight.
The fortune teller squatted on the spot and held up the paper head in her hand. She didn't know what to do with it. She was quite afraid that the thing in her hand could be used to deceive Gu Mian's body after she left. After careful consideration, she placed the head on the edge of the pit, thinking that if it showed signs of coming back to life, she would kick it down and let it fight Gu Mian below.
Fortunately, this thing had no intention of resurrecting, and it stayed there quietly for several hours until Gu Mian came back.
This time Gu Mian came up without any loot. All the holes he explored after going down this time were empty. There were no paper figures and no narrow passages dug out by hand.
"Although I didn't find anything this time, I found that there are traces of human habitation in other caves. I don't know if there were other paper figures inside."
"Are there any traces of habitation but no trace of other paper figures?" After learning the following situation from Gu Mian, the fortune teller looked thoughtfully at the paper heads on the edge of the cliff. When I saw it, I was shocked to see that the head had been played with by Xiao Qiao, who was bored.
The fortune teller looked at Xiao Qiao silently for a few seconds, then turned back to continue discussing the following situation with Gu Mian.
Gu Mian spent too long exploring down there. At this time, the surrounding environment had darkened and it was going to be night soon.
Gui Gu was very sensitive to dark environments. He looked up at the dim sky, then turned to look at the other three people present.
Gu Mian and the fortune teller were squatting next to the head discussing the situation in the underground cave, while Xiao Qiao was playing football. None of the three seemed to have any intention of leaving.
Gui Gu had no choice but to clear his throat and suggest: "Otherwise, let's go back and discuss the following matters."
At this time, the three of them stopped and turned to look at him. At this time, Gui Gu realized that he had omitted Xiao Qiao in his words, and quickly added: "Take the ball back, let's go back and kick it again."
The sky was already very dark, and there was a huge upside-down city overhead blocking the remaining light. This made the area much darker than other places. Weird bird calls could be heard from the abandoned houses not far away. , which made Gui Gu even more flustered.
Gu Mian looked at the time and found that it was already six o'clock in the evening.
Gu Mian didn't plan to work in the dark. This place was quite weird. It would be bad if some ghosts jumped out of nowhere and kidnapped the three people on the ground after he went down.
Just as he was thinking about a ball rolling at his feet, he looked closely and saw the paper head being kicked around by Xiao Qiao. Due to inertia, the head quickly passed by Gu Mian and rolled towards the edge of the pit. Just when it was about to fall into the terrifying and dark abyss, Gu Mian quickly picked it up and stuffed it back into the arms of Xiao Qiao, who was rushing over.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Xiao Qiao happily took the ball from Gu Mian and started to beat it with a bang like a basketball. Unfortunately, the ball made of paper paste was not elastic enough and half of it was destroyed by such a slap. Half of its pale face was still stuck on The other half of the bamboo frame was opened and fluttered in the wind, like a white flag of surrender.
Xiao Qiao lost interest in the half-used toy and kicked the paper head holding the white flag back to its home.
Gu Mian patted the dust on his clothes and stood up and walked towards the hearse parked not far away: "It's getting late, pack your things and go back."
The population in the city has dropped sharply. Even if something as big as the sky happened here, no one would come to see the excitement. The only living creatures nearby were the four of them, oh, and the head that Xiao Qiao kicked home just now.
By the time they packed up the ropes and arrived at the hearse, the sky was completely dark. Gu Mian was driving in the driver's seat, while the other three were sitting in the back seat. Gui Gu looked back at the upside-down city in the sky. As the hearse drove forward, the black shadow in the sky became farther and farther away from them and became smaller and smaller.
The streets were very quiet except for the sound of wheels on the ground. The dead city, the darkening sky and the strange hearse are very suitable for the beginning of a horror movie.
Gui Gu had even imagined the next plot in his mind. A ghost figure would flash on the road ahead. The driver braked and got out of the car to check and found nothing. Then he returned to the car and continued driving. After driving for a while, he noticed the passenger behind him. Became a ghost.
Okay, from here on it’s Saw.
Gui Gu was immersed in random thoughts and couldn't extricate himself. At this time, the hearse braked and stopped, and he realized that the car had returned to the apartment downstairs.
The fortune teller took Xiao Qiao and followed Gu Mian upstairs to eat and drink very naturally on the pretext of discussing today's affairs. Gui Gu thought about it and followed them upstairs. He didn't just want to eat and drink, but he really wanted to find out what was going on in the weird pit under the Hanging City.
"The entrances to the caves we saw are all on the rock walls of the abyss. Were those caves formed before the Upside Down City ascended to heaven or did they exist before?" The fortune teller asked the question seriously while chewing the balls in his mouth.
Everyone was very hungry after not eating for a day. Gu Mian was afraid that if we continued to discuss on an empty stomach for a while, someone might faint from hunger, so the summary was done on the dining table.
Gu Mian pushed the fish ball and tofu soup in front of her towards Xiao Qiao. She seemed to like this soup very much: "I observed it when I went down. The entrances of those caves seemed to be suddenly broken in the middle and were irregular. There is no polishing, and the depth of each hole is about four or five meters;
"I guess those holes existed before the Upside Down City ascended to the sky, and the length of the caves is longer than what we see now. However, when the Upside Down City ascended to the sky, it brought a large part of those caves up to the sky. We are looking at it underground. The caves you arrived are just part of what is left.”
The fortune teller took out paper and pen and drew carefully, but after a while she drew a very abstract figure to show to Gu Mian: "I understand what you mean, the layout of the underground caves should be like this, right? .”
Gui Gu also looked at the picture drawn by the fortune teller.
I saw that the fortune teller drew a figure like a bicycle wheel, with a point as the center of the circle, and countless lines shooting out like axles. The fortune teller also drew a big circle on the periphery to block these axles, leaving only The outermost part is outside the circle.
As if afraid that Guigu wouldn't understand, the diviner explained: "This is a bird's-eye view of the hanging city before it ascends to the sky. The straight lines extending outward are the original length of the cave, and the big circle represents the hanging city. . Later, when the circle reached the sky, the straight lines in the circle were carried up, leaving only these short lines outside the circle. These short ones are the caves we see today. "
To be honest, it's a bit abstract, but understandable.
"This can also explain why Gu Mian found traces of human habitation in all the caves, but only encountered paper figures in one of the caves, because the paper figures in other caves may have been hanging upside down near the center. The fortune teller looked at Gui Gu. She already knew about Gui's friend entering the Upside Down City. "Did your friend tell you that he saw the paper man on the Upside Down City?"< br>
She guessed that since there were paper figures underground in the Upside Down City in Lianhua City, there might also be some in the Upside Down City in other areas.
Gui Gu shook his head: "The paper man is so supernatural. If he had mentioned it, I would never forget it. He certainly never mentioned to me that there was a paper man on the Hanging City."
It seems that if you want to know what's going on in the Upside Down City, you have to go up there and see for yourself, but if you go up there is the risk of not getting back down...
The fortune teller held his head: "I don't know what those paper figures are used for. There are red letters written on the tops of their heads. Another strange thing is that the cave you entered for the first time, Gu Mian, had vertical holes dug upward. There is a narrow passage out, but there is no such thing in other caves.”
She didn’t understand who dug that passage, the paper man? Could it be that the paper man wants to dig into the ground and escape?
But why is there only the paper man in the cave digging out? Are the other paper figures just sitting in the ground and being good students with no intention of digging up?
